oh those, if the wires are too short, go to radio shack buy some wires and extend it. I would run the wires down the engine bay to the side of frame (watch out for moving parts, make sure it does not touch any moving part) and for the switch, you'll need to drill a hole through the firewall to the interior of the car.

royce,

I hook mines up to my dome light switch....so I can turn OFF, ON, or have it working with the doors. I bought additional wires...ran it up the A-piller...and in front of the headliner....into the homelink/dome light assembly.
